Use a JsonRpcProvider with staticNetwork without knowing the chainId upfront

[ybbus]

Hi.

It would be nice if it is easily possible to use a JsonRpcProvider with staticNetwork, but without knowing the chainId upfront.

The logic would be, that the JsonRpcProvider just queries the chainId once when calling getNetwork() internally and then use this information forever like as if you configured it as "staticNetwork".

Of course this could also be achieved by creating a JsonRpcProvider, getting the chainId and then creating another JsonRpcProvider with a staticNetwork, since the chainId is now known, but it would be more convenient if this could be achieved with one single Provider.

Best,
Alex

I like the idea. I’ll see how it works out if I just allow setting staticNetwork to true. :)

This is not now available in 6.9.0.

The options.staticNetwork may be set to true; if a network is provided, it is used, otherwise the network is queried only once, and there-after assumed to be unchanged by the provider. :)
